Ed520, let me know after you change engine oil. I think it has to do with the electronics sending wrong signal to the gear shift and causing it to be confused which gear to shift to. This is a machine afterall.

my car is in the workshop to fix the steering...they let me drive a E39 520. now i can compare....the E39 is definitely quieter n less harsh than the E60 that i drive. i think this is due to non-sport sus...n normal tyres. also the gear change is creamy smooth...i m pleasantly surprise...
But...the lack of active steering is very apparent to a fault...i nearly langa the wall in the multi storey at my office.
overall u can feel the E60s technological advancement...but the E39 is still a nice ride....more so than any current E200 kompressor i m sure..

They gave me the Hertz 520i 2.0 liter one and the steering and non fly by wire gas pedal are hard work.
It was a good car to begin with but sure feel very dated once you are in an e60.

Back to my fav topic....bluetooth. Just found out from a friend from across the causway, the Malaysian E60s come with bluetooth! I can't stand it.....everything here must be approved by f***ing IDA......makes us look like a buch of country bumpkins
Anyway my friend's checked that they will do the bluetooth retrofit over there. I might just take a drive up to a KL BMW dealer and get it done there, don't want to wait till stupid IDA decide to wake up.....
